A two-day theatre festival for young audiences took place on November 14 and 15 at the Golden Threshold, Abids. Interesting plays like ‘Edu Chepala Katha’, directed by Udaya Bhanu; ‘Naa Valla Kaadu’, based on a Korean folk tale; ‘Amma Cheppina Katha’, and ‘Whistle’, directed by Tiru Veer Reddy were staged.
Art for the young is a vital issue that has to be addressed immediately, i.e. before the idiot box (TV) takes over and rules the young minds completely. Keeping this in mind, artists from Hyderabad and South Korea got together for ‘Art-i-culate’, an interactive session, and had an interesting discussion at the Golden Threshold, on November 15.
Udaya Bhanu of Bhumika theatre group moderated a discussion where dancers and theatre artists discussed the various approaches one can adopt to introduce traditional arts to young ones, so as to make them appreciate it.

The discussion was to initiate a thought process on how to mould art forms to reach out to children of different origins, cultures and nationalities, so that they may be a part of an entire artistic ethos of understanding, appreciating and participating in the creative process of art making.
